Did you know that Burberry has their own version of the reversible tote? And last time we’ve reviewed about the Goyard Reversible Tote and the Gucci Reversible Tote. Both bags are stunning. The Reversible style is getting more popular these days.

Burberry has created the Reversible Bag in solid colors, but they also created some limited edition versions. One of them is the Doodle Reversible Bag, which is inspired by the unpredictability of the British weather. The print is sophisticated, but eye-catching!

The Design

Here’s the thing about the Doodle Reversible Bag. On the exterior, you will tote an artful British-inspired handbag. The print is so gorgeous and attention-grabbing that it will definitely catch a lot of eyes. And besides, the logo Burberry London England is crafted on the front.

Reversed The Bag To Get This Look

However, if your mood changes or you need to go to a formal gathering, then you can ‘reverse’ this bag inside out, to show off the large-scale check reverse. This check print is Burberry’s signature print!

The Doodle Reversible Bag is made from fabric. It comes with a leather top handle to carry cross body or just by hand.

The Interior

The interior is rather simple, there is one large space inside to store all your daily items and there is room for even more. This bag is perfect for work but also for shopping and diners. With this ‘doodle print’, you can be certain that it’s everything but boring.

It’s all fun and games when you have to come up with a creative idea or two – try doing it on a regular basis, all day, every day. Come to think of it, any creative profession is an ordeal (writing included – students often choose to buy term paper online instead of writing it just because they lack inspiration) of chasing the muse and trying to make it stay for a longer time.

Fashion designers are hardly an exception. Their every day is devoted to being creative, finding new trends, and implementing the craziest ideas into life.

Where do they get their inspiration? Well, there are a few sources, including pretty uncommon ones.

THE STREETS

Fashion is often born out of bold improvisation or even the lack of means. It’s hard to say who it was first – the designer or the customer – who decided to combine things that had been never combined before. Jeans and lace, fur and crazy colors, heavy boots and summer dresses – all of those combinations appeared with time and through experiment.

Look at the modern fascination with rags and torn up clothes. Where do you think it came from? I bet, one of the fashion designers had a walk along a busy New York street and probably decided to use it in the next collection just because she lacked ideas and was desperate. The result, however, exceeded all possible expectations.

TRADITIONAL CLOTHES

There are places where traditional clothes are still in heavy use, like India. In such countries, using them in fashion collections is an obvious choice. In other countries, however, people have long since stopped wearing traditional items of clothes. In this case, finding something inspirational in traditional garments is not an obvious path to take. Besides, in more modern countries incorporating traditional elements into modern collections takes more effort and creativity.

NATURE

It’s probably difficult to imagine someone coming up with a dress design by just looking at a sunset or a tree line, but nature is a great source of inspiration nonetheless. Particularly, it gives a wide choice of colors in combinations you could have never imagined. Fashion designers would be crazy not to use it – and so they are using it heavily.

CULTURE

Have you ever wondered why Japanese motifs are so popular in fashion collections? That’s because designers get inspired by the Japanese culture in general. It is rather interesting, you can’t argue that. The fashions, the patterns, the colors, the hair styles are so different from what we have here in the western world that the temptation is too great to walk by. The whole atmosphere is mesmerizing for a western person.

ARCHITECTURE

I might be going to crazy places right now, but some architectural sights are so elegant that they could easily inspire a few items of clothes or at least a combination of colors. No, it’s not about haute couture collections that are designed for advertising purposes only. Architecture is a noble art and it sometimes offers elegant lines and airy silhouettes that are cut for catwalks.

The point is, sources of inspiration are usually all around you, and fashion designers know it well. Next time you see an impressive collection, try guessing what inspired the designer. I bet it will be something from the list above.

Is this the Classic Flap Bag, you ask? Well, not entirely and here’s why. The Chanel M/L Classic Flap Bag is measured 6.3’ x 10.2’ x 2.8’ inches while the Chanel Crochet Flap Bag is measured 6.3’ x 10.2’ x 3.9’ inches. So the Crochet Bag is a bit bigger in width, we will tell you why later on. But first, take a good look at this gorgeous Chanel Crochet Flap Bag, it’s released for the Cruise 2018 Collection.

The Design

You hear a lot of the Chanel Tweed Classic Flap Bag, but you don’t often see the Crochet style of the Classic Flap Bag. Both are not easy to maintain, but they give you a different experience and feel than leathers.

The Crochet Flap Bag is ideal for the spring and summer seasons because of the neutral color. It goes well with numerous summer styles like beige and white dresses. It features the woven chain leather strap but it’s embellished with a different CC logo than the Classic Flap Bag. You see, the CC logo is thicker and not smooth. It feels more vintage-like than modern.

The shape and the look are exactly like the iconic Classic Flap Bag, yet it’s not the Classic Flap Bag. Here’s why:

First of all, the measurement is not the same. The Chanel Crochet Flap Bag is a bit bigger in width.

Secondly, it has a different style code. The style code of the M/L Classic Flap Bag is A01112 while this one has the style code A57038. However, this bag does look very similar to the Classic Flap Bag, except for the Crochet of course.

The Interior

The interior is the same like Classic Flap Bag. There are several compartment inside including a patch pocket.

In her interview, Jessica explains why she doesn’t take on traditional female roles.

“I am not one to go for traditional female roles, because I don’t think traditionally female characters are very interesting, and I don’t think they represent real life. I’m working hard to break free of stereotypes that the film industry has created and nurtured around women.”
